I can only imagine the intensity of Bangladesh's heartbreak. Especially knowing how passionate the home supporters are. But for the neutral, what an incredible game it turned out to be. England, after all that they achieved at home, were still doubted. Not after this they won't. Remarkable steel. They now pose a serious threat to Bangladesh's winning streak at home. This series is off to a flier. Join us for the second instalment on Sunday. Till then, take care. It's a goodbye from Sagar Chawla, Raju Peethala, Kumar Abhisekh and Abhinand!

Ball: "Just incredible. With that last spell just thought about hitting the pitch hard and give it all for the team. No chance of coming off the attack there. It was about hitting the pitch hard, taking the pace off. Bouncer was a bit more effective under lights. It's a bit hot, isn't it? Difficult conditions for a first game but really enjoyed it playing in front of a crowd like this. It was about us keeping going. Just plugging away. Rashid kept coming on to me saying he'll get more wickets. I said no you won't."

Jake Ball is Man of the Match.

Buttler: "Fantastic game. Further than halfway through, I sat there thinking that I got the toss all wrong. Stokesey dragged us together and said let's just give it one last burst. Jake was fantastic on debut. Great to continue that winning habit. Took Adil off as there were two left-handers. Probably the last 10 overs he's actually very dangerous with him turning the ball both ways. Tailenders starting against him is tough. Looks we found a player in Duckett. Greatest compliment is that you can't say whether he's on debut or not. Fantastic partnership between Stokes and Duckett. The two of them showed exactly what we want to be about. In those conditions, the score of 310 maybe worth 340-odd. Have been a lot more emotional as captain. What a fightback from the lads, we'll enjoy this one."

Mortaza: "When we needed 39 from 52, from there on we lost the game. Could have been easy game for us but we lost too many wickets. 309 always difficult to chase but it was nice wicket to bat on. Imrul and Shakib batted really well. Dropped catches cost us as well, could have restricted them to around 290. In the practice match he (Imrul Kayes) got a hundred as well, hopefully he'll keep going on from here. Don't think there was much dew. Slower ones were gripping."

Time for the presentations with Nick Knight..

Chasing a target of 310, Bangladesh didn't get off to a flier as Tamim and Sabbir Rahman fell cheaply. A run a ball fifty-run stand between Imrul Kayes and Mahmudullah steadied the ship. Later, there was a hiccup, when Mahmudullah and Rahim fell victims to Rashid - both playing the slog sweep. At 153-4, Shakib Al Hasan joined Kayes and together they showcased a batting masterclass. Kayes nullified the innings played by Ben Stokes. He braved through cramps and brought up his first century after six years and seven months; his second overall. The top ranked ODI all-rounder, Shakib played an impressive knock and notched up his 31st ODI fifty - taking a special liking to Moeen Ali. Both these batsmen will be ruing the fact that they couldn't guide their team home.

The England Lions snatch a victory from the jaws of defeat. They go 1-0 up in this 3-match series. How could Bangladesh choke this up? At 271-4 in the 42nd over, they were cruising home needing just 39 runs off 52 deliveries with Shakib Al Hasan and Imrul Kayes still at the crease. That's when disaster struck. The debutant Jake Ball struck twice in two balls removing the veteran Shakib and Saikat which triggered a massive collapse - the last six wickets fell for a mere 17 runs. Ball ended up with figures of 5/51 - best figures by an English bowler on debut.

22:37 Local Time, 16:37 GMT, 22:07 IST: Bangladesh were 271/4 with less than run a ball required and two set batsmen at the crease. The game was in the hosts' pocket. Any other possibility was not a reality. But a terrific display from Ball on debut combined with the lower order's ineptness with the bat precipitated one of the better comebacks in recent memory. Make no mistake, this is an outstanding comeback. Have to give it to England. Not too many sides would have genuinely believed in orchestrating a turnaround from the position they were in. Speaks volumes about their character. Unbelievable drama.

47.5

J Ball to Taskin Ahmed, out Caught by Buttler!! England have completed quite a sensational turnaround .. and it's been facilitated by a lion-hearted fifer from Ball on debut. A slower back of a length delivery outside off, grips the pitch slightly and it's enough to take a thick outside edge with Taskin aiming for the leg-side slog. Good catch diving forward from Buttler with the ball dying on him. They are absolutely elated. Taskin Ahmed c Buttler b J Ball 1(4)

J Ball to Taskin Ahmed, THAT'S OUT!! Caught!!

47.4

J Ball to Taskin Ahmed, no run, slower short ball outside off, Taskin pulls in disdain. Had to reach out and fetch it from far away but couldn't do so

47.3

J Ball to Taskin Ahmed, no run, swings through the line of the ball but there's a hint of curl away on it and it's enough to beat the edge

47.2

J Ball to Mosharraf Hossain, 1 run, short of length just outside off, skewed off the outside half down to third man

47.2

J Ball to Mosharraf Hossain, wide, tries to reach out for a short and wide ball. Can't quite

Adil Rashid to Mosharraf Hossain, no run, Buttler hasn't had the greatest time behind the sticks, has he? In his defence, this googly is overpitched and it's not the easiest take. No run conceded either way

46.5

Adil Rashid to Mosharraf Hossain, no run, tries to slog-sweep with the turn .. hit on the pad

46.4

Adil Rashid to Mosharraf Hossain, 2 runs, overpitches and still the batsman can't find the middle. Squirts it off a thick inside edge fine of short fine leg

46.3

Adil Rashid to Mosharraf Hossain, no run, huge appeal. Is this the end? Not quite. Mosharraf is pinged on the pad after missing his slog-sweep but the ball is turning too much. Going down

46.2

Adil Rashid to Mosharraf Hossain, no run, turns square .. pitches on off and rips across Mosharraf's pad down the leg-side. Mosharraf is bewildered as to why it isn't called a wide

46.1

Adil Rashid to Mosharraf Hossain, no run, that's a terrible delivery and all Mosharraf has done is to defend it back. A googly which is a half-tracker .. goes unpunished

45.6

J Ball to Mosharraf Hossain, 1 run, overpitched outside off and it's been squeezed through point

45.5

J Ball to Mosharraf Hossain, 2 runs, moves away from the line and carves a pull with a lot of bravado over mid-wicket. Not much timing at all. Plugs in the outfield

45.4

J Ball to Mosharraf Hossain, no run, short of length once more, Mosharraf chops it off a thick inside edge to the left of Buttler who dives and stops

45.3

J Ball to Mosharraf Hossain, no run, short of length delivery outside off, dabbed into cover-point

Taskin Ahmed, left handed bat, comes to the crease

45.2

J Ball to Mosharraf Hossain, out Shafiul Run Out!! This dismissal tells you all you need to know about Bangladesh's state of mind. They're in limbo. A mistimed pull which drops in front of mid-off, Shafiul charges a fair way down from the bowler's end despite no response from his partner. Is left with too much to do on the return and Rashid's direct hit finds him a foot short. Shafiul run out (Adil Rashid) 0(6)

J Ball to Mosharraf Hossain, THAT'S OUT!! Run Out!!

45.1

J Ball to Mosharraf Hossain, no run, back of a length delivery which holds its line from round the wicket, squares Mosharraf up

44.6

Adil Rashid to Shafiul, no run, remarkable how not one ball has been played properly. A well flighted leggie outside off, Shafiul pushes forward but is beaten

44.5

Adil Rashid to Shafiul, no run, how did that miss the off stump? Rashid is seen mouthing away. He is disgruntled. A big googly, a wild slog and didn't miss the off stump by much

44.4

Adil Rashid to Shafiul, no run, goes back and plays it back down the pitch

44.3

Adil Rashid to Shafiul, no run, loops the googly deliciously wide of off, Shafiul throws the kitchen sink and chops it back down the pitch

44.2

Adil Rashid to Shafiul, no run, flatter on the stumps, another googly. Shafiul doesn't pick it again and is hit high on the pad

Adil Rashid to Kayes, wide, out Stumped!! That's the end of that I suppose. Bangladesh have folded up quite unbelievably. Superbly bowled from Rashid. Scouted Kayes's charge and fired it well outside off while pulling the length back. Buttler with the stumping. A neat one. What do they have left? Not much going by the crowd reaction. Shell-shocked. Kayes st Buttler b Adil Rashid 112(119) [4s-11 6s-2]

Adil Rashid to Kayes, THAT'S OUT!! Stumped!!

43.6

J Ball to Mosharraf Hossain, no run, pinned to the crease and the ball crashes into the pad. England opt for a review. More of a breather than a review. Easily pitched outside leg

43.5

J Ball to Kayes, 1 run, Kayes is on his haunches. Totally sapped. Had to reach out slightly to a length ball and then just slogged. Skews it off the inside half through mid-wicket

43.4

J Ball to Mosharraf Hossain, 1 run, glances it off the pads down to fine leg

43.4

J Ball to Mosharraf Hossain, wide, well down leg, Mosharraf can't connect with the whip

People are praying in the stands. This tail needs that, and then some..

43.3

J Ball to Mosharraf Hossain, no run, awkward awkward way to escape a short ball. Doesn't inspire much confidence

43.2

J Ball to Mosharraf Hossain, no run, length ball just outside off with a slip in place, defended to cover

43.1

J Ball to Kayes, 1 run, pitched right up on the pads, Kayes whips it through mid-wicket. Geez, this Bangladeshi tail is looking rather ominous. For themselves

43.1

J Ball to Kayes, wide, slower short ball which slips away with the angle and is too high to be played at

One of the balls have been changed. The one which Rashid was bowling with.

Adil Rashid to Mortaza, out Caught by Buttler!! Oh gone. The finger goes up. What a dramatic turnaround in the match. Bangladesh were coasting 11 balls ago and the crowd were partying in the stands. Now the mood has become rather sombre with three wickets falling since. Mortaza chases a shortish leg-break trying to dab it fine. He does dab it fine. Very fine. Straight into the keeper's hands off a feather of an edge. Mortaza c Buttler b Adil Rashid 1(5)

Adil Rashid to Mortaza, THAT'S OUT!! Caught!!

42.4

Adil Rashid to Mortaza, no run, quicker, flatter and it's a wrong 'un. Snakes back in at Mortaza as he's shuffling to leg. Is able to adjust and chop it to extra-cover

42.3

Adil Rashid to Kayes, 1 run, tucks it with the turn through mid-wicket

42.2

Adil Rashid to Mortaza, 1 run, loops it up to test the waters with Mortaza .. is driven through the covers. Hefty backlift and a full flourish. He's not holding back

A slip in place. Nothing much too fancy.

42.1

Adil Rashid to Kayes, 1 run, floated up outside off and is flicked through mid-wicket. Rashid won't mind it. England can now attack Mortaza

41.6

J Ball to Mortaza, no run, a cracking short ball which keeps following Mortaza's head even as he's swaying away from the line. Ends up folding his back like an accordion to evade

41.5

J Ball to Mortaza, no run, fullish just outside off, Mortaza plays it safely down the pitch with a forward stride

Mashrafe Mortaza, right handed bat, comes to the crease

41.4

J Ball to Saikat, out Bowled!! Chopped on first ball. Darts in appreciably from a short of length to find Saikat trying to steer it through the off-side, takes a thick inside edge and rattles the stumps. Ball on a hat-trick now. This isn't over yet. Saikat b J Ball 0(1)

J Ball to Saikat, THAT'S OUT!! Bowled!!

Mosaddek Hossain Saikat, right handed bat, comes to the crease

41.3

J Ball to Shakib, out Caught by Willey!! That little break in play perhaps!? England finally find a way through the pair and Ball has a third. Sharp short of length delivery which rushes onto Shakib's pull. He finds no timing, gets it high on the bat and spoons it to mid-wicket. A window, just a window has opened up perhaps? Shakib c Willey b J Ball 79(55) [4s-10 6s-1]

J Ball to Shakib, THAT'S OUT!! Caught!!

Now Shakib's turn to suffer from some cramps. These are grueling conditions with the humidity at more than 85%. All set to resume after a 3-minute delay..

41.2

J Ball to Shakib, FOUR, just sits up for him. This one's been banged in but Ball has run his fingers across the ball. As a result, rather than skidding on, it holds up and allows Shakib all the time on the back foot. Pulls it witheringly through mid-wicket. Such is the force, that it goes right through the fielder .. almost as if it burnt a hole through him

41.1

J Ball to Shakib, 2 runs, nippy short ball directed at Shakib and he shoves all elegance down the drain as he pulls through mid-wicket

More running repairs for Kayes..

40.6

Adil Rashid to Shakib, 1 run, tossed up wide of off, swatted down to long-on

Adil Rashid to Shakib, no run, flatter, skips through from a back of a length and is dabbed late to short third. Another googly

40.3

Adil Rashid to Kayes, 1 run, might have been the googly which Kayes picked and steered through point

40.2

Adil Rashid to Shakib, 1 run, backs away and cuts the leg-break from middle stump through to sweeper cover

40.1

Adil Rashid to Shakib, FOUR, that's not a great start. Drifts it across nicely but it's overpitched and Shakib bludgeons it down the ground .. straight back over his partner's head

Rashid back.. Doesn't have much to play with. Just 54 required off 10 overs.

39.6

J Ball to Kayes, no run, slower short ball outside off, Kayes looks to pull but mistimes it. Had to fetch it from far away. Couldn't control it at all

39.6

J Ball to Kayes, wide, falls away with the angle. Way, way down leg

39.5

J Ball to Shakib, 1 run, short of length at the body, pulled to deep square

39.4

J Ball to Shakib, no run, loopy short ball, Shakib swats it to mid-wicket

39.3

J Ball to Kayes, 1 run, makes room to open up the off-side but gets cramped .. inside-edge onto pad

39.2

J Ball to Kayes, no run, a chance .. and it's been blown. Good short ball following Kayes as he backs away. Despite the ball achieving good height and getting big, Kayes swings into a fearsome pull and seems like he got a feather through to Buttler. Dropped! Buttler's reaction tells you everything

39.1

J Ball to Kayes, no run, good slower ball. The round the wicket angle tempts Kayes into working across the line but it stops on him and produces a soft leading edge into the off-side

Jake Ball [5.0-0-31-2] is back into the attack

38.6

Woakes to Shakib, FOUR, how's he scythed that away? Slower short of length delivery angling in from round the wicket, Shakib somehow hops to the leg-side and might have actually hit it with his feet in the air. Carves it past the backward point fielder. 100 of the partnership comes up

38.5

Woakes to Shakib, FOUR, throws his hands at the width and the edge races away down to the third man fence. It's all running with Shakib. It's all running with Bangladesh .. and the crowd is loving it

38.4

Woakes to Shakib, no run, that's been banged way too short. Loops over Shakib through to the keeper

Woakes to Shakib, 1 run, doesn't quite get hold of this in a similar manner, chops it to the left of backward point who makes a diving stop. Or atleast a half-stop

38.1

Woakes to Shakib, FOUR, short and wide and it's been slashed away to the backward point fence. That went like a rocket off the willow. Jee, he's seeing them well

Chris Woakes [6.0-1-25-0] is back into the attack

Haven't seen Rashid at all once the right-handers were dismissed. Do captains miss a trick this way? Remember Zampa being held off right till the end when Miller was going berserk. It's almost an unwritten rule that spinners who turn the ball into the batsmen shouldn't be bowling..

37.6

Moeen Ali to Shakib, 1 run, drives it down to long-off

37.5

Moeen Ali to Kayes, 1 run, flat, skidding in on middle and leg, Kayes tucks it with the angle through mid-wicket

37.4

Moeen Ali to Shakib, 1 run, tossed up outside off, Shakib drives through the covers to bring up fifty. Has played the aggressor in this partnership with Kayes being laid low by cramps

37.3

Moeen Ali to Shakib, FOUR, listen to this arena! It's absolutely rocking. Down the pitch, quashes the pitch of the ball and punches it firmly down the ground. He's quickly knocking the fight out of England

37.2

Moeen Ali to Shakib, no run, backs away and punches off the stumps to cover

37.1

Moeen Ali to Shakib, SIX, Shakib takes the chance and it comes off. Picked the right ball being that it's drifting in too full, then pumps it over mid-on. All he had to do was clear the infield. Ended up doing much more

Ali to bowl out..

36.6

Willey to Shakib, 1 run, full delivery angling in, Shakib looks to drop kick it away, inside edges it away for a run on the on-side

36.5

Willey to Shakib, FOUR, slog, a typical bottom-handed slog, beats the man at mid-wicket and the man trying to give it a chase at the very last moment to keep the momentum going. The man in the deep - Jason Roy seems to have done his shoulder. The Physio is having a keen look at him, they already are missing out on their best 11, don't want to miss more players thanks to injuries

36.4

Willey to Kayes, 1 run, tapped to cover point and they race through for a run

36.3

Willey to Kayes, no run, was banged in and the short ball was left alone by Kayes after having a look at it, wanted a wide out of that

36.2

Willey to Kayes, 2 runs, tucked away behind square on the on-side and a not-so-fit Kayes is happy to come back for a couple

36.1

Willey to Kayes, FOUR, overthrows and that gets Kayes a hundred after 6 years and 7 months!. A full delivery and pushed back to the bowler, Willey picked it up and was unhappy with something and decided to knock the sticks down, with Kayes in his crease. The ball ricocheted away towards the fine leg region and Kayes was jubilant to raise his arms to celebrate a finely carved ton

35.6

Moeen Ali to Kayes, 1 run, waits for the turn and clips it away on the on-side to move to 98!

35.5

Moeen Ali to Kayes, no run, turning away, Kayes defends it into the off-side

35.4

Moeen Ali to Shakib, 1 run, looks to muscle it away on the on-side, gets cramped up thanks to the delivery, which follows him and in the end, drags his shot to mid-on

35.3

Moeen Ali to Shakib, FOUR, inside out and the ball races away past the sweeper cover for a much needed strike. A tossed up delivery and the batsman backed away to crack the uppish drive

35.2

Moeen Ali to Kayes, 1 run, a troubled hamstring and still braves a one kneed sweep for a single only as the man at deep square mopped it up

35.1

Moeen Ali to Kayes, no run, the ball skids through outside off and Kayes pats it away on the off-side

34.6

Willey to Shakib, no run, full delivery and driven on the up to find the man at mid-off

34.5

Willey to Kayes, 1 run, pulls it away towards fine leg and despite a misfield by the man there, a cramped up Kayes does not have any chance of coming back for a brace

34.4

Willey to Kayes, no run, full delivery and driven firmly to the man at cover

34.3

Willey to Shakib, 1 run, a quick single as the man at mid-off had to throw the sticks down at the striker's end. A full delivery and Shakib jammed it to mid-off before scampering through and forcing Kayes to take that run

34.2

Willey to Kayes, 1 run, some angle into the southpaw, Kayes gets his front foot out of the way to clip it to mid-on

34.1

Willey to Shakib, 1 run, short and wide, crashes the cut but fails to beat the man at sweeper cover despite getting it past the man at point

34.1

Willey to Shakib, wide, a little mock shimmy and that forces the bowler to stray down the leg-side, fifty of the partnership comes up!

33.6

Moeen Ali to Shakib, 1 run, stays leg sidish and the bowler follows him with a dart of a delivery, Shakib turns it away on the on-side for another run

33.5

Moeen Ali to Kayes, 1 run, on the pads and an easy clip is what welcomes the bowler, towards mid-wicket

33.4

Moeen Ali to Shakib, 1 run, goes square of the wicket into the sweeper cover as he tried to give himself some room

33.3

Moeen Ali to Kayes, 1 run, the projectile looped up, Kayes is happy to send it down the ground to long-off

33.2

Moeen Ali to Shakib, 1 run, dabbed away on the off-side to a flattish delivery

33.1

Moeen Ali to Shakib, no run, lot of flight, the batsman looks to dance down the track, gets it off the thickish edge to the man at short third

32.6

Willey to Shakib, 1 run, angled in and as Shakib looked to heave it away, could not get any elevation for the ball to drag along the carpet on the on-side past the man at mid-wicket

32.5

Willey to Shakib, no run, little bit short again, the ball skids through to thud into the thigh pad of Shakib as he misses the pull

32.4

Willey to Kayes, 1 run, again a tad bit short and Kayes tucks it away for a run

32.3

Willey to Shakib, 1 run, shouts of 'two two' as he played the shot on the on-side, a neat nurdle towards backward square. In the end settle down for a single only

32.2

Willey to Kayes, 1 run, stays inside the line of the delivery and allows that shortish skiddy delivery to come onto him before opening the face of the blade for a single towards third man

32.1

31.5

Moeen Ali to Shakib, 1 run, goes inside out this time and gets it over cover but for only a single as the man at long-off tidies up

31.4

Moeen Ali to Kayes, 1 run, clipped to mid-wicket and they get an easy run, Kayes is happy dealing in singles

31.3

Moeen Ali to Shakib, 1 run, Shakib after losing his mind almost lost his wicket. Tries to come down the track, looks to loft it by never getting to the pitch of the ball and in the end, the dive at long-off was a bit short

31.2

Moeen Ali to Kayes, 1 run, dangles in from round the wicket and the batsman clips it away for another run

Stokes to Shakib, FOUR, more glove than bat and it races away fine on the on-side towards fine leg for a boundary. The short ball again went wrong and was down the leg-side to allow Shakib to add 4 to his tally

30.5

Stokes to Shakib, 2 runs, pulls it away from his body, and this time they race back for a brace as Shakib was running to the danger end - the keeper's end. A short skiddy delivery is not really going to threaten the batsmen much

30.4

Stokes to Kayes, 1 run, another steer, this time an aerial one over point and they do not take the couple

30.3

Stokes to Shakib, 1 run, steers it from just outside off to get the man at deep third to work

30.2

Stokes to Kayes, wide, too wide down the leg side and the batsman does not get anything on that to earn a sundry for his team

30.1

Stokes to Kayes, FOUR, short and angled in a bit, Kayes got it off the outside edge to send the ball racing past the man at third man for a boundary, Adil at deep third was too square to stop that

The duel resumes between Kayes and Stokes...

29.6

Moeen Ali to Shakib, no run, a lot of turn, Shakib at first looked like letting it go, in the end taps it away

29.5

Moeen Ali to Shakib, no run, tickles it to short fine and they almost had a run out. Kayes with the cramps might not want to go for quick singles

29.4

Moeen Ali to Kayes, 1 run, flays it down the ground to long-off for an easy run as the ball skidded through

A crucial moment in the game as Kayes is key to Bangladesh's chase. He gets out or goes out will hurt their chances immensely. He decides to use the long handle till he is there and gets quick runs might propel their case as well. A see-saw moment for sure! We are back to go again after an almost 6 minute break...

29.3

Moeen Ali to Kayes, 2 runs, in the airrrr and just short of who? Stokes! Who misfields and allows the couple to be taken at the backward point region. And Kayes after completing the couple is down on the ground. Kayes is getting badly cramped up and the humidity which has been prevalent all this while decides to raise its head. The physio is out there and the players will take drinks

29.2

Moeen Ali to Shakib, 1 run, comes down the track and taps it into the covers for a quick single, the throw is not quick enough

29.1

Moeen Ali to Shakib, no run, drives it back to the bowler after chipping down

28.6

28.5

Stokes to Kayes, FOUR, slapped down the ground and just over the man at mid-off, who thought he had a trifle of a chance to take that. A good length delivery and Kayes was happy to bludgeon it down the ground

28.4

Stokes to Shakib, 1 run, quick short ball, Shakib is late on the pull and in the end gloves it away behind square

28.3

Stokes to Kayes, 1 run, backs away and thwacks the drive for Billings at sweeper cover to come up with a good effort, else would have been a boundary. It was a full delivery angled across

28.2

Stokes to Shakib, 1 run, on the pads, nicely and easily done as it has been nurdled away for a run

28.1

Stokes to Shakib, no run, starts off with a loosener outside off, Shakib tried to dance down the track, inside half of the bat makes contact and pushes it back on the off-side

Ben Stokes [3.0-0-16-0] is back into the attack

Moeen Ali to Kayes, 1 run, tucked away square on the on-side for another easy single

27.4

Moeen Ali to Kayes, no run, looks to paddle and top edges it to his chin, a little grimace on his face. Wear a helmet buddy!

27.3

27.2

Moeen Ali to Shakib, 1 run, clipped to mid-wicket to earn a single

Adil Rashid to Shakib, no run, tries to slap that and mistimes it to the man at cover

26.4

Adil Rashid to Shakib, 2 runs, another paddle, this time to a delivery landing just outside off, a couple added to the tally

26.3

Adil Rashid to Shakib, FOUR, takes the full toss and paddles it fine past the man trying to give it a chase from the deep square region. A cheeky way to get off the mark

26.2

Adil Rashid to Shakib, no run, smashes the drive back to the bowler off a flighted ball

Shakib Al Hasan, left handed bat, comes to the crease

26.1

Adil Rashid to Rahim, out Caught by (sub)S Billings!! That is harakiri! Did not pick up the straighter one, which skidded through and went through for his pet shot - slog sweep and holes out at deep mid-wicket. It was well aired and the batsman took the bait but could only traverse the man in the deep - the safe hands of Billings don't drop those. Another huge blow. Rahim c (sub)S Billings b Adil Rashid 12(12) [4s-1]

Adil Rashid to Rahim, THAT'S OUT!! Caught!!

25.6

25.4

Moeen Ali to Kayes, 1 run, down the leg-side and tickled to short fine for a quick single

25.3

25.2

Moeen Ali to Rahim, 1 run, nurdles it away on the on-side with the turn to steal a run

25.1

Moeen Ali to Rahim, FOUR, chips down the track and cleans it up down the ground over the man at mid-off for a welcome boundary

24.6

Adil Rashid to Rahim, 1 run, full and wide, Rahim crouches to slice the drive to cover sweeper

24.5

Adil Rashid to Kayes, 1 run, the googly! Kayes was playing for the stock ball and gets a soft leading edge which rolls to cover

24.4

Adil Rashid to Kayes, no run, lovely, gets appreciable flight on this and nearly hoodwinks Kayes into a false stroke, the batsman adjusts and meekly pushes back

24.3

Adil Rashid to Rahim, 1 run, quick on middle, Rahim picks him off his pads, a single behind square

24.2

Adil Rashid to Kayes, 1 run, legbreak, sliding down, Kayes intercepts the line with his bat to send it past backward square

23.6

Moeen Ali to Rahim, 1 run, goes deep inside the crease and late-dabs a shortish delivery with an angled willow towards short third

23.5

Moeen Ali to Kayes, 1 run, full and floating outside off, Kayes gets forward to drive it through the covers

23.4

Moeen Ali to Rahim, 1 run, just a replica of the previous delivery

23.3

Moeen Ali to Kayes, 1 run, gets inside the line of a tossed up delivery and clips it behind square leg

23.2

Moeen Ali to Kayes, no run, attempts a sweep and doesn't get anywhere near the line, a flatter trajectory fired on leg-stump. Takes it on the pads, but no real appeal. Don't think it has spun enough to knock the stumps

23.1

22.6

Adil Rashid to Kayes, 1 run, turned away with the spin through mid-wicket

22.5

Adil Rashid to Rahim, 1 run, punched off the back foot towards point

22.4

Adil Rashid to Rahim, no run, has that clipped the pad? Or bat? Nah, it just brushed the thigh pad, slider going down and Rahim is late on the glance, Buttler appeals half-heartedly but the ump. ain't hurried by his optimism

Adil Rashid to Rahim, no run, loopy, nagging, full on the pads, Rahim tentatively pokes to short mid-wicket

Mushfiqur Rahim, right handed bat, comes to the crease

22.2

Adil Rashid to Mahmudullah, out Caught by (sub)S Billings!! That's a trap! Mahmudullah's tendency to fall back to his favourite stroke quite often has backfired. Drops to one knee and looks to slog-sweep a Adil Rashid's legbreak over mid-wicket. Hasn't middled it, drags off the bottom half and Billing's bucket hands does the rest. A tumbling catch. Mahmudullah c (sub)S Billings b Adil Rashid 25(26) [4s-2]

Adil Rashid to Mahmudullah, THAT'S OUT!! Caught!!

22.1

Adil Rashid to Mahmudullah, no run, dipping yorker, Mahmudullah lets the ball drop around his toes to dig it out

21.6

Moeen Ali to Mahmudullah, 1 run, saunters down the pitch and pushes a quicker one to long-on

21.5

Moeen Ali to Kayes, 1 run, full toss around the pads, that's powered away for another single behind square

21.4

Moeen Ali to Kayes, FOUR, I personally feel that England bowlers are bowling a little too quick here. With dew in place, I guess its quite justified. Bowls it too full down leg and Moeen's pace does the rest - Kayes just knelt down and got bat on ball as he went for the sweep, doesn't matter if not middled

21.3

Moeen Ali to Mahmudullah, 1 run, and the singles keep coming! Not much turn on offer, dew perhaps? Mahmudullah milks a single through mid-wicket

21.2

Moeen Ali to Kayes, 1 run, pushed through around off, Kayes punches with a slightly closed bat face in front of mid-on

21.1

Moeen Ali to Mahmudullah, 1 run, may have been a wide had Mahmudullah left that alone. Picked it around middle and leg to manoeuvre it backwards of square on the on-side

Adil Rashid's partner-in-crime gets the cherry now, no slips for him either

18.6

Adil Rashid to Mahmudullah, FOUR, expensive start for Adil Rashid! Fires it around middle and leg, may be finding it hard to grip the ball, Mahmudullah gets inside the line and paddles it away fine

18.5

Adil Rashid to Kayes, 1 run, spanks the sweep right out of the screws, but there is a man in the deep at mid-wicket and he will only buy a single there

18.4

Adil Rashid to Kayes, no run, quick slider just outside off, Kayes goes back and chops it to the keeper

18.3

Adil Rashid to Mahmudullah, 3 runs, a little overpitched and Mahmudullah times the off-drive to perfection, looked very elegant. The fielder from deep extra cover runs to his left and puts in a sprawling dive

18.2

Adil Rashid to Mahmudullah, no run, looped up just outside off, flattish, Mahmudullah drives and couldn't get it past cover

J Ball to Kayes, FOUR, 13th ODI fifty for Imrul Kayes! Barring a couple of strokes, he has looked scratchy for his nearly run-a-ball 50. He knows there's no way he is gonna get out unless he attempts a needless run or steps out. Just stays his ground and throws the kitchen sink at a short slower ball, slices the edge and flies over a helpess Buttler

17.5

J Ball to Kayes, no ball, no ball for height and Kayes can wield his willow next ball. A free hit on offer and Buttler has a word with Ball regarding the field placings. A full toss that perhaps slipped out of Ball's hand, down the wrong line and a bit too high

17.4

J Ball to Mahmudullah, 1 run, tucked away behind square

17.3

J Ball to Kayes, 1 run, takes his eyes off the ball, but succeeds in making some contact, the short ball gets big on him, skews the pull off the splice in front of deep square

17.2

J Ball to Kayes, no run, there and thereabouts of off-stump, at 133ks, Kayes merely pokes to short cover and searches for a non-existent single, sent back and rightly so

17.1

J Ball to Mahmudullah, 1 run, arrowed into the pads, lets Mahmudullah settle back and use the line to glance it down to fine leg

16.6

Stokes to Mahmudullah, 1 run, floats it outside off, Mahmudullah dabs with an angled bat in front of point

16.5

Stokes to Mahmudullah, no run, fuller on off, Mahmudullah drives and picks out the fieldsman at cover

16.4

Stokes to Mahmudullah, no run, oh, good grief! And Liam Dawson, the sub has almost knocked out umpire Marais Erasmus. After Mahmudullah knocked it to short mid-wicket, Dawson drifts across and fires a direct hit and Erasmus - who was in the line of fire - had to duck to evade the throw. Mahmudullah was safe anyway

16.3

Stokes to Mahmudullah, no run, jumps down the pitch and slices with thin air as the leather leaps past Mahmudulla's flashing blade

16.2

Stokes to Kayes, byes, 1 run, kills the pace and lets the ball scoot under his bat, Kayes is all flashy and slashy as he fails to put bat on ball for the umpteenth time. Somehow, manages to sneak to the other end as a rare Buttler fumble allows him to do so

16.1

Stokes to Kayes, no run, angling away from a length, Kayes attempts to drive but is beaten on the outside edge as he was early into the shot

Drinks. I remember Nasser Hussain yelling his lungs out during the 2015 World Cup when Bangladesh thrashed England. These were his exact words: "The Bangla Tigers have knocked out the England Lions." And one and half year later, when Bangladesh ruled the roast for nearly 2 years in home conditions, England's giving them a run for their money. It's been all England thus far, Stokes back again...

15.6

J Ball to Mahmudullah, no run, length, gets commendable bounce around off, Mahmudullah is forward and across to block that

15.5

J Ball to Mahmudullah, no run, cuts the pace and serves it up in the outside off zone, Mahmudullah is done for the lack of pace, looks to force into the off-side and makes no contact

15.4

J Ball to Kayes, 1 run, just drops it towards Roy at backward point and tries his luck against Roy's arm. The Surrey lad is quick to get to the ball and he goes bang at the bowler's end, Kayes dives and slides his bat which comes to his rescue. There was a bit of doubt whether the bat was in the air, but he looked absolutely safe

Direct hit and Kayes looks safe? Yes, the dive rescued him and the verdict should go in his favour. NOT OUT it is

15.3

J Ball to Kayes, no run, fullish and slanting across around fourth stump, Kayes taps to the man at backward point with soft hands

15.2

J Ball to Mahmudullah, 1 run, swivels with the ball angling in and directs it to deep backward square with a pull

15.1

J Ball to Mahmudullah, no run, that's some pace I tell you! Real quick bumper and Mahmudullah was in no position to deal with that, pulls belatedly only to be beaten for sheer pace

14.6

Stokes to Kayes, FOUR, after 5 brilliant deliveries, Stokesey errs marginally and Kayes ticks him off his pads, anything on and around leg-stump will be put away to the fine leg fence

Stokes to Kayes, no run, fuller outside off, neatly defended into the covers

14.4

Mahmudullah, right handed bat, comes to the crease

13.6

J Ball to S Rahman, out Caught by Willey!! Short ball, neatly sat up to be slapped. Rahman crunches back and mauls the pull, nailed it off the meat and for a fleeting moment I thought he has taken Jake Ball for a journey over deep mid-wicket. Little did I know about David Willey who is one of the finest fielders in the current England set-up. He leaps as high as he can, times the jump to perfection - Which is the key IMO. Plucks the ball in the air, realizes the momentum is gonna carry him over the fence and shows good reflexes in flicking the ball back into play mid-air. Slides on the ropes and swoops in to take the rebound. An absolute piece of brilliance from the Yorkshire bloke. S Rahman c Willey b J Ball 18(11) [4s-3]

J Ball to S Rahman, THAT'S OUT!! Caught!!

Has Willey pulled off a worldie, off Ball's bowling? Excuse the pun. Cook is all smiles in the dug-out. Yep, he has, TV umpire confirms the same. Fist pumping from the England Test captain and my word! What a catch that is

Welcome back to the Bangla chase! Buttler with the keeping gloves on leads his team into the ground. Out come the Bangladesh openers. Woakes to start off the proceedings. 2 slips in place

Bangladesh have a huge target of 310 to chase down. 279 was the highest they were able to post in their recently concluded 3-match series against Afghanistan here at the same ground. Their top order need to fire to get anywhere close to this mammoth score. Can they make a match out of this? Catch us as the action unfolds after the break.

The talk was all about the players missing out on the tour prior to the start of the match. Now, all those would be put to rest, with the visitors posting a huge score after opting to bat. Ben Stokes proved the good old saying "when the going gets tough, the tough get going" right - bringing up his maiden ODI ton in his 45th match. He walked to the middle when England were slightly in a spot of bother at 63-3 with the debutant Ben Duckett on 3 at the other end. That's when the Ben duo decided to counter punch - which they did excellently. A 153-run stand that was filled with lofted shots all round the ground, conventional and reverse sweeps, cheeky shots and of course helped along with drop catches. Duckett played a matured innings to get to his maiden fifty playing second fiddle to his senior partner. He eventually perished to Shafiul looking to up the ante. Soon after the dismissal, the southpaw reached the milestone, which involved 8 fours and four maximums. Bangladesh fought back removing Stokes and Moeen Ali in quick succession, to trigger a late collapse. But, that's when the skipper decided to provide the late blow and ensured that England cross the 300-mark - thanks to his blistering knock of 63 off 38 deliveries.

49.6

Shakib to Willey, out Woakes Run Out!! Caps off an excellent final over with a run-out. Finds the yorker being squeezed to his left, rushes to the ball and flicks it back at the stumps with Woakes comfortably short of his ground. Then gets up again, and fires the ball at the striker's end to catch Willey short. Wasn't needed. Woakes run out (Shakib) 16(15) [4s-2]

Shakib to Willey, THAT'S OUT!! Run Out!!

49.5

Shakib to Woakes, 1 run, right in the blockhole, keeps Woakes down to a single to long-off

David Willey, left handed bat, comes to the crease

49.4

Shakib to Buttler, out Caught by Saikat!! A catch has been taken. Good bowling from Shakib as he fires this wide. Despite being a full toss, Buttler had too much reaching out to do. Gets it right at the bottom of the bat and lobs it down to long-off. Buttler c Saikat b Shakib 63(38) [4s-3 6s-4]

Shakib to Buttler, THAT'S OUT!! Caught!!

49.3

Shakib to Buttler, leg byes, 2 runs, Rahim is appealing. He's the only one who is. After stepping out, Buttler goes across the line of the ball, misses and the ball deflects off his pad fine of short third man

49.2

Shakib to Woakes, byes, 1 run, he's missed that. Somehow. Darted in, overpitched outside off and Woakes swings without luck. Always a difficult take for the keeper when it's so full

49.1

Shakib to Buttler, 1 run, comes down the track which causes the full toss to get a bit too high on him, can't put it away. Gets it high on the bat and mistimes towards cover

Shakib Al Hasan [9.0-0-57-1] is back into the attack

48.6

Taskin Ahmed to Woakes, no run, Taskin is furious. He's giving the fielder at deep mid-wicket a lambasting. A mistimed pull from Woakes which is spooned in the air. Rather than attacking the ball, it's been allowed to drop

Taskin Ahmed to Buttler, SIX, brilliant home crowd this. As patriotic as one can get. Stunned silence in the stadium right now with Bangladesh losing the plot. It's a full toss wide of off with third man up. Buttler's intentions aren't to go through that region as he slashes at the ball but it flies off a thick top-edge. Hits the cushions flush

48.3

Taskin Ahmed to Woakes, leg byes, 1 run, misses out on a full toss and it deflects off his pad into the on-side

Taskin Ahmed [5.0-0-27-0] is back into the attack

47.6

Shafiul to Buttler, SIX, fifty for Buttler, off just 33 balls. It's an all-out assault now. I'm still wondering what Shafiul did wrong here. Full and wide, nearly takes it out of Buttler's reach. Still, he spanks it low down on the bat and it travels the distance over long-off

47.5

Shafiul to Buttler, FOUR, mistimed .. in the gap. Buttler unloading on Bangladesh. Slower back of a length delivery which he swats through square leg. Once it clears him, only one result possible

47.4

Shafiul to Buttler, FOUR, gosh, that's hit hard. Just a short-arm jab to the normal eye, but what brutality. Slices the air and rockets to the fence. Deep mid-wicket wasn't far away but he's only a dummy

47.3

Shafiul to Buttler, 2 runs, good short ball .. takes Buttler by surprise and he is prompted into a hurried pull shot. Spoons it off a thick top-edge but gets away as the ball lands between deep backward square leg and fine leg

47.2

Shafiul to Buttler, 2 runs, nice and full, the length doesn't allow Buttler to get underneath the ball and he powers it wide of long-on. Easy two

A change of mind from Mortaza. Chooses to continue with Shafiul after initially giving Taskin the ball..

46.6

Shakib to Buttler, SIX, now higher .. and longer. Shakib tosses it once more and is launched over the long-on ropes. Buttler on the charge

46.5

Shakib to Buttler, SIX, much needed! They haven't quite been able to press on like they would have wanted. Maybe now. Dances down to the pitch of the ball and flogs it over wide long-on. A flat hit. Didn't have much swinging room actually but so much power

46.4

Shakib to Woakes, 1 run, tucks him with the angle through mid-wicket

46.3

Shakib to Buttler, 1 run, driven to extra-cover. Shakib's increasing confidence can be guaged by how he's varying the speeds beautifully

46.2

Shakib to Woakes, 1 run, opens his stance for the inside-out loft but this one goes much straighter than he originally wanted. Long-off keeps them to a single

46.1

Shakib to Buttler, 1 run, skates down the track and is suffocated by an in-drifting delivery, gets to it on the full and glances down to short fine

45.6

Shafiul to Buttler, 1 run, the reduction in pace evokes a mistimed slash from Buttler. Too much power, no timing. Chops it through the cover-point region

45.5

Shafiul to Buttler, no run, back of a length slower ball outside off, slapped to point

45.4

Shafiul to Woakes, 1 run, squeezes the yorker down to third man

45.3

Shafiul to Woakes, FOUR, what a shot. All timing. Fullish outside off, Woakes leans into the delivery while bending low and beautifully lofts it inside-out over extra. Such is the timing, it nearly goes all the way

45.2

Shafiul to Buttler, 1 run, canes a low full toss with typical bottom-handed power but it's straight to sweeper cover

45.1

Shafiul to Woakes, 1 run, yorker outside off, Woakes runs it down to third man

Shafiul Islam [7.0-0-32-2] is back into the attack

44.5

Shakib to Woakes, no run, turns off the straight and opens up Woakes into popping a leading edge down the pitch

44.4

Shakib to Buttler, 1 run, no width at all. Is even okay with drifting into the pads, gets clipped through mid-wicket. Only a single

Chris Woakes, right handed bat, comes to the crease

43.6

Mortaza to Moeen Ali, out Caught by Tamim!! Bit of a collapse from England here. Three wickets down in the space of not too many. All credit to Mortaza for this dismissal. Shifted to over the wicket and pounded in another sharp bouncer, climbs over Moeen's right shoulder and gets too big on his attempted pull. Off the thick top-edge down to fine leg. Nice ebb-flow ring to the game. Moeen Ali c Tamim b Mortaza 6(5)

Mortaza to Moeen Ali, THAT'S OUT!! Caught!!

43.5

Mortaza to Moeen Ali, 2 runs, whips it off the hips behind square. Two more

43.4

Mortaza to Moeen Ali, no run, good bumper. Sharp and well directed right at Ali's head. He takes it on by swinging into a hook, but it whistles over his top-edge

43.3

Mortaza to Moeen Ali, 2 runs, clips a back of a length delivery wide of long-on for a couple. They're playing the field pretty well at the moment. Mortaza is taking pace off mostly and rather than going hard on the ball, which is slightly tough with the pitch getting slower, the duo is going the other route

43.2

Mortaza to Buttler, 1 run, slower short of length delivery just outside off, patted into the off-side

43.1

Mortaza to Buttler, 2 runs, slower ball which is flicked close to square leg. There's a good diving effort from the fielder but his throw at the non-striker's end hits the stumps and ricochets for an extra run. Buttler was always home

42.6

Shakib to Buttler, 1 run, only a single through mid-wicket now. Will keep strike

42.5

Shakib to Buttler, 2 runs, now clips it with soft hands in front of long-on. Hares back for the second. Good batting this. Isn't going berserk against spin straightaway which is the smart thing to do

42.4

Shakib to Buttler, 2 runs, another bottom-handed jab to a ball sliding in, this time powers it through mid-wicket - in the gap - and rushes back for two

42.3

Shakib to Buttler, no run, oh, Buttler will feel he missed out. A loopy full toss outside off, didn't quite expect it to be honest and slices it to backward point. Three dots in a row

42.2

Shakib to Buttler, no run, no room from Shakib at all as he darts a round-armer back in at Buttler, restricts him to a jab back down the pitch

42.1

Shakib to Buttler, no run, backs away a long way and chops one off the stumps to cover

Shakib Al Hasan [6.0-0-32-1] is back into the attack

41.5

Mortaza to Buttler, 1 run, walks at the bowler, converts the ball into a half-volley and drives on the move to mid-off

Mortaza to Stokes, out Caught by S Rahman!! Yeah, he's drained. Normally, that delivery would have disappeared. This time, he's failed to clear the fence and holed out at deep mid-wicket. Short of length, sits up for the pull and Stokes sends it high rather than long. Shakes his head as he walks off. Brilliant knock though. A counter-attack executed superbly. Stokes c S Rahman b Mortaza 101(100) [4s-8 6s-4]

Mortaza to Stokes, THAT'S OUT!! Caught!!

41.2

Mortaza to Buttler, 1 run, shuffles forwards and sidewards, gets comfortably outside the line of the ball and tickles it down to fine leg

Sweat dripping off the lid, he's puffing and resting on the bat while taking strike.

40.6

Shafiul to Buttler, 2 runs, back of a length outside off, punches it firmly off the back foot wide of sweeper cover. Easy two

40.5

Shafiul to Buttler, FOUR, that's been whipped off the hips. Phew, what a shot. The ball skims to the ropes. Magnificent timing

40.4

Shafiul to Stokes, 1 run, clips one through mid-wicket. Maiden ODI hundred for Ben Stokes, and it's been an absolute beauty. Didn't sway away from his power game despite walking into a pressure situation and has thrusted England out of the earlier wobble. Too knackered for a big celebration. A wonderful smile, and everyone rises

40.3

Shafiul to Stokes, no run, still not there. A back-foot drive which can't find its way past a diving backward point

40.2

Shafiul to Buttler, 1 run, pushes forward to a length ball and works a single wide of mid-off

40.1

39.6

Mortaza to Stokes, no run, short of length on off, blocked back down the pitch. Stokes will have to wait

Mortaza doesn't bother bringing the field up to exert pressure on a batsman on 99. A batsman who's never got an ODI hundred.

Mortaza to Stokes, 1 run, nudges his way to 99. Just a clip down to long-on

39.2

Mortaza to Buttler, 1 run, an awkward looking pull with Buttler taking his eyes off the ball. Climbed steeply after being pounded in and Buttler just wasn't expecting so much bounce. Still gets it away all along the turf through square leg

39.1

Mortaza to Stokes, 1 run, short of length just outside off, dabbed behind backward point

Jos Buttler, right handed bat, comes to the crease

38.6

Shafiul to Ben Duckett, out Bowled!! Bangladesh have broken through this mammoth stand. In his honest quest to up the run-rate, Duckett perishes. Again moves too far across for the sweep like earlier in the over, the ball is there for the taking as it's a low full toss. But he's just missed it - plain and simple. Brilliant knock on debut though. Came in under pressure and didn't look too fazed. Ben Duckett b Shafiul 60(78) [4s-6]

Shafiul to Ben Duckett, THAT'S OUT!! Bowled!!

38.5

Shafiul to Ben Duckett, no run, Duckett this time. Goes for the inside-out drive to a slower ball which is drifting away all the time. Fails to cover the angle and it skirts past his outside edge on the bounce to Rahim

38.4

Shafiul to Stokes, 1 run, he's wanting to move away from the line of the ball and open up the off-side, but doesn't have the desired room on the inside-out hoist, inside edges it down to long-on

38.3

Shafiul to Ben Duckett, 1 run, moves well across, thereby exposing all three stumps, sinks on the knees and sweeps it off middle and leg to the left of short fine. The fielder does well not to allow it through

38.1

36.5

Saikat to Ben Duckett, no run, pushed into the covers with soft hands

Mosaddek to tweak it in after the break...

33.6

Mortaza to Stokes, 1 run, another clip off the pads to bring about drinks! England find themselves in a dictating position.

33.5

Saikat to Bairstow, out Bairstow Run Out!! Kamikaze cricket from England and Bairstow is deeply disappointed. Drives a loopy full ball to mid-off and searches for a needless single. Very, very risky that. Sabbir pounces on the ball, aims and knocks just one bail with his laser-sharp throw. Bairstow dives desperately but he's found short by a few inches. Bairstow run out (S Rahman) 0(3)

11.2

Shakib to Jason Roy, out Caught by S Rahman!! The risk and reward of using your feet to the bowler. Mind you! Shakib is a canny customer, he can set up a batsman in no-time and Jason Roy will realize the same once he takes a shower and watches Shakib operate. Chips down the track and lashes a loft, so much power that the bat face twisted on impact. High into the clouds and Rahman sets himself at long-off. Not quite to the pitch of the ball and a bit of a leading edge too, the fielder had an age to take that catch. Jason Roy c S Rahman b Shakib 41(40) [4s-5 6s-1]

9.4

Shafiul Islam, right-arm fast medium, comes into the attack

One slip again

0.6

Mortaza to Jason Roy, no run, this one came back in, not quite enough to trouble Roy though. Pitches outside off and darts back in from back of a length, Jason Roy strolls across looking to work it to the on-side perhaps, is beaten for the sharp inward movement and is hit high on the pads

Mortaza to Jason Roy, no run, in his crease and showing a straight bat to a back of a length delivery, rolls away towards point

0.1

Mortaza to Jason Roy, wide, starts off with a loosener, touch fuller but some away-swing takes it wide of the tramline

Jason Roy and James Vince are at the crease. Jason Roy is on strike. Mortaza will open the attack

Right ho! Let's switch our focus back to the battlefield. Jason Roy is out and limbering up, he has a new opening partner - James Vince is practicing a few shadow strokes as dark clouds loom over his head. Mashrafe Mortaza with the new rock as the crowd cheer him up to the bowling crease...

Plenty of criticism for Eoin Morgan for backing out of this tour. KP went onto say that the Irish-born England turned cricketer may have played his last game for his country. With India's tour far away, this is more of a last chance saloon for a few lads. James Vince, especially will be under severe scrutiny and Moeen Ali too as so often referred by critics - The elephant in the living room. And hey! Yes, Jake Ball debuts, but we all know his sorry figures at Lord's in his solitary Test match - 1/88

Who's Ben Duckett then? If you are an ardent cricket fan, you may have seen glimpses of his talent in the under-19 arena. Born in Kent and plies his trade for Northamptonshire, a solidly built wicket-keeper batsman who had a thumping record in the 2016 county season. He has had his issues in the past; received flak for not keeping up to the fitness levels and lo! Was splashed in the newspapers for some unpleasant reasons - Like drunk-and-drive. Experts believe, Benn Matthew Duckett, has a great chance of establishing his place in this England side. At least for the limited overs format. Remember Robert Croft? The offie refused to tour India following the 9/11 kamikaze and never played for England again. Not because he opted out of the tour, but Ashley Giles claimed Croft's spot during that tour and the rest is history

So, we have official news now: Ben Duckett along with Jake Ball - Who's played one Test already - are the debutants. Pictures on social media show Paul Collingwood doing the cap-presenting honors

News emerging that Ben Duckett, the 21-year old, is all set to hit the international button (debut). More about that bloke after the toss

England are forced to make changes and may be half-a-dozen of them. There is no Morgan, Hales or Root. So, a new top half is an opportunity for England to fortify their reserves and for the Bangla bowlers to have a crack. The bowling also has notable absentees in the form of Mark Wood and Chris Jordan. Bangladesh on the other hand are at full tilt and would want to make it a lucky seven in due course of this three match ODI series. The toss of the coin in a bit....

England have been on and off the road as far as ODIs are concerned playing a lot of them at and away from home with considerable success. However, the right parameter to judge their game would be by quantifying the new found aggression that they bring to the table. That can wait! As England still themselves are to figure out was it serendipity or necessity which brought out this neo-modern-batsmanship. If England play to their off-late-acquired-potential, Bangladesh will have their stiffest test in the last 2 years. Their regular captain Eoin Morgan is not here but Jos Buttler would only overload the explosives if the situation arises.

You can be pardoned if you mistake the numbers for Australia's of the 1990s and early 2000s. But this is Bangladesh, the new renewed one which does not depend entirely on its spinners anymore. They have a seam attack which if not sending shivers down the spine of the opponents can tickle the ribs on any given day on any surface. Led by battle-hardened Mashrafe Mortaza, Bangladesh at home have a crease-less record ever since Binny made a bunny of them with his 6-fer two summers ago. So, after the taste teaser in the form of Afghanistan, England are the main course that Bangladesh are hungry for.

The Dhaka attacks on the night of July 1, 2016, had larger implications than just throwing the country of Bangladesh and the witnessing world into a state of shock. It, in a way, validated fears of the nations who had previously refused to tour the country for reasons surrounding security.

In October 2015, Australia postponed their tour of Bangladesh after Cricket Australia (CA) was warned by the government of threats in Bangladesh. Exactly a year later, England were found in the same quandary, following the Dhaka attacks with the players caught in a fix.

So much so, the Barmy Army, the renowned group of the travelling English fans, decided to opt out of going to Bangladesh themselves, citing the same concerns.

On the other hand, while Moeen Ali unambiguously stated that he would definitely tour Bangladesh, limited-overs captain Eoin Morgan and batsman Alex Hales refused to go, copping much criticism for their decision, led by assistant coach Paul Farbrace.

Farbrace was quoted as saying by The Sun: "I won't lie to you. I was massively disappointed when they chose not to go. But the ideal scenario is that whoever comes in does brilliantly and Alex and Morgs know getting their place back isn't straightforward. Then when it comes to the first game in India, selection will be a tough call."

Morgan opting out gave Jos Buttler the chance to lead the side for the three-match One-Day International series that is scheduled to begin on Friday (October 7). Buttler, who has been to Bangladesh three times previously, most recently for the World Twenty20 in 2014, seemed quite satisfied with the security provided on their arrival in Dhaka.

The team was also reportedly surrounded by a Bangladeshi government ring of steel that included soldiers, special forces and rooftop snipers as they left their hotel for training. With security concerns addressed, England safely shifted their focus back to cricket, and they did so spectacularly, with an all-round effort in the lone tour game.

Despite a brilliant 91-ball 121 from Imrul Kayes, chasing 310, the England batsmen stood up and excelled in the challenge to pick up a four-wicket win against BCB Select XI at Fatullah with the series start just days away.

Bangladesh, who have now won their last six ODI series at home, had ruled the roost last year, beating South Africa, Pakistan and India in their backyard. However, their recently-concluded series against Afghanistan was not something that would assume the hosts to be favourites in the lead-up to the ODI series.

They were tested, tried and made to work hard for their wins by a plucky Afghanistan side who challenged them in every department. The eventual scoreline of 2-1 to Bangladesh only tells half the story, but what it did do was give them a wake-up call ahead of a series against a toughened England side, much to the contrast of the one that they ousted from the group stages of the 2015 World Cup.

The hosts are boosted by the return of Taskin Ahmed, who was earlier banned from bowling with a suspect action. Tamim Iqbal's latest century, the roaring return of left-arm spinner Mosharraf Hossain after eight years, the drafting in of Al-Amin Hossain and Kayes making a statement in the tour game will hold them in good stead in conditions they are accustomed to. Favourites or not, Bangladesh have momentum on their side, having beaten England in three of their last four ODIs.

England, since their World Cup embarrassment, have seen a tectonic shift in their approach to the shorter versions of the game, with their aggressive intent doing them a world of good. Having won three of their last four ODI series in the last 12 months, England are on the rise and have overcome opponents easily.

Now, however, with a relatively inexperienced side, with James Anderson injured, Joe Root rested, and the absence of Morgan and Hales, Buttler will have to make a couple of tough calls with his young side. One of which will be Hales's replacement at the top alongside Jason Roy. Moeen can always be their go-to man, but largely, uncapped Ben Duckett is tipped off to take that spot. If Moeen, who has only opened once since the World Cup, opens alongside Roy, then Duckett could be competing with James Vince for the No.3 slot.

The one-day series could be the perfect prelude for England to assess conditions and test their resources ahead of the two-Test series that follows the ODIs. They will also have more experienced personnel make their way back into the team.

In what was a shock call-up, Gareth Batty, the Surrey offspinner, was in the fray for a Test return more than a decade after his last appearance in 2005. Batty, 39, who had played seven Tests and picked 11 wickets, will be a spare for the frontline duo of Adil Rashid and Moeen.

Hales's absence provides teenager Haseeb Hameed, the 19-year-old from Lancashire, the chance to pair captain Alastair Cook at the top of the order. However, he will contend for the spot with Duckett, who impressed the last season with over 2700 runs across formats for Northamptonshire and England Lions.

Cook will miss out on both the warm-up games due to the birth of his second child, and will join the side just prior to the beginning of the Test series, which would leave the youngsters batting together in the warm-ups in a bid to seal their spot in the side.

Despite Bangladesh now being a force to reckon with in their own backyard, England could take heart from the fact that in their previous ODI and Test tours to Bangladesh in 2003 and 2010, they whitewashed the hosts across both formats 3-0 and 2-0 respectively.However, with both sides not what they used to be, this could be a cracker of a series as, arguably the strongest Bangladesh side will take on a relatively inexperienced, but fearless, England side. Both teams can use this as a warm-up to bracing themselves for their respective long tours ahead with England travelling to India, and Bangladesh heading to New Zealand.
